Wow weird to see him there in person rather than raving over the phone.

That little revelation right there has already been pounced upon by the head of the Democratic National Committee.

Here’s more from Trump’s latest podcast appearance with Patrick Bet-David, which finds him dishing the dirt on his 18-year-old son, whom he reveals is “good with the ladies” but has never had a girlfriend, which I’m sure is a fact Barron is delighted to have splashed across world media.

A former NBC executive has apologized to Americans for creating a “monster” in Donald Trump via the hit show The Apprentice.

“I want to apologize to America. I helped create a monster,” John D Miller penned in an op-ed for US & News and World Report.

Miller spent 25 years running marketing for NBC and NBCUniversal and promoted the reality show that pushed Trump into superstardom.

While Trump was a known figure thanks to his larger than life persona and real estate business that put him on TV sets in the 1980s and 90s, it was the show and the phrase “you’re fired” that propelled him to become a business icon.

Trump used the show, the fame and his business background as a key part of his push into politics that landed him in the White House.

Trump’s running mate made the lavish request for an appearance at a Midwestern public university to discuss Hillbilly Elegy four years before he was elected to the Senate, records obtained by Politico show.

But the University of Wisconsin-Madison eventually bowed out of negotiations with Vance because they were “too much to overcome.”

That’s according to CNN, which notes the commercials attacking the Vice President over her support for trans rights have largely aired during televised NFL games, college football broadcasts and in battleground states.

“Kamala’s agenda is they/them, not you,” one of the ads declares, sneering at the politicization of personal pronouns in typically nasty fashion.

The network calls the spend “staggering” given that the topic is one “that most voters say isn’t a top priority for them” and sees it as a late attempt by the Republican’s camp to wedge a culture war issue into the election that has certainly created plenty of division at state level.

Harris was questioned on the issue by Bret Baier on Fox News this week and answered accordingly:

Judge Tanya Chutkan, overseeing the Washington DC election interference case against Trump, moved yesterday to deny the former president’s request to delay the unsealing of court records and evidence until after Election Day, meaning the court can release evidence submitted by the government today.

Judge Chutkan wrote in her five-page order that there was a presumption that the public should have access to “all facets of criminal court proceedings” and said that the Republican presidential nominee had not submitted arguments relevant to any of the factors that would be considered to keep the material in question under seal.

She went on to reject Trump’s lawyers’ appeal as not “persuasive”.

We’ll bring you all the very latest as and when the documents are made available later today right here.

Rhian Lubin has more below on the VP’s skit with Molly Shannon.

Bill Adair, who started the Pulitzer Prize-winning website PolitiFact, has admitted that – despite his claims over the years – he has, in fact, been keeping tabs and determined which side is the most liberal with the truth.

Here’s James Liddell with the answer.

Jesse Watters has been at it again, sane-washing the Republican nominee’s mad attempt to spin January 6 at his Univision town hall on Wednesday.

But, as always, Jessica Tarlov was the one really paying attention.

The 42nd president joined Walz in Durham yesterday and roasted Trump for his musical breakdown in Oaks, Pennsylvania, on Monday night when he parped out “Ave Maria”, “YMCA”, “Nothing Compares 2 U” and “Time to Say Goodbye” while two unwell audience members received medical attention.

“I will not clap offbeat” is somehow particularly devastating.
